Ma I use to hate reading Shakespeare back in school daze...it's a pity I'm sure many students were permanently turned off ol Bill because of school...his plays are really not meant to be read but performed...

maybe you´re right even though I enjoy only-reading theatre plays. Antonio & Cleopatra has a dizzy beggining but after the first third of the text it seems that the writer himself? was bored with the war secuence. Lots of word-tricks, I specially liked that.
